# Docs: fix README + Quick Start scope/env/category guidance

README.md and kb/guides/quick-start.md reference MEMEX_KB_ROOT, use --local, and omit required --category/primary behavior. These don’t match current CLI.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Replace MEMEX_KB_ROOT with MEMEX_USER_KB_ROOT and MEMEX_INDEX_ROOT where applicable\n- [ ] Remove --local references; document --scope=project|user and @project/@user paths\n- [ ] Quick Start examples include --category (or add .kbconfig primary setup step)\n- [ ] Examples validated against current CLI help
